Last year, as part of our Cultural Immersion Tour, I had the profound privilege of visiting Mamitiana Orphanage in Madagascar, alongside Stuart Simpson, Rose Ruane, and my nieces and nephews. Located on the eastern side of Antananarivo, the capital, the orphanage was founded by the incredible Madame Hary in 2012. What started as a humble project from her own home has grown into a haven for 54 children, some of whom were rescued from areas where twins are sadly believed to be cursed.

Despite the challenges, the orphanage continues to thrive, relying entirely on the kindness of visitors. They grow their own rice, maintain a small chicken farm, and have a vegetable garden to sustain themselves. But their greatest need is for ongoing support and resources to continue providing for these beautiful children.

Earlier this year, a generous group of New Zealand donors helped install solar panels to ensure the orphanage is no longer dependent on unreliable electricity.

 Your support will ensure Mamitiana Orphanage can continue to provide a safe, nurturing environment where these children can grow and thrive.

By attending our concert, you’ll be helping make a direct impact on the lives of these children. All profits from this concert will go toward completing the construction of a much-needed training center at Mamitiana Orphanage in Madagascar, helping provide valuable education and support to the children in their care. 

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to enjoy a night of beautiful music, all while supporting a cause that is close to our hearts. Your ticket purchase will go towards making a real difference.
